Apologies for asking, I know there was a thread a few weeks ago but I've tried searching and can't find it.

My son & his girlfriend have just moved into a rented house. They don't know how long they'll be staying there.

There's a BT line in place, but no existing contract. They can't get cable at that address.

If they want broadband, they will have to pay BT a reconnection fee, then something like £9 a month for line rental then £18 a month for broadband for a minimum of 12 months. As they both have mobile phones (one approaching the end of its contract) is there a cheaper option?

If you've got an O2 mobile -contract or payg try this

Use 3, no 3 contract required. £15 for a dongle, then payg. Only reason I used 3 was that I use Linux on my laptop and they were the only ones who could guarantee that the dongle would work. No problems so far

I'll look at 3.

Anybody got a link to the previous similar thread so I can see what the common concensus was then?
